2. GENERAL INFORMATION AND
REQUIREMENTS
This mount kit is designed to provide free delivery (no
ducting) air distribution. It is applicable to 47000, 48000
and 49000 Series Roof Top Units Only. The control
box mounts inside the upper unit return air opening. The
minimum recommended roof thickness with this system is
1”. The upper unit and ceiling assembly mount on a
square roof opening 14” to 15” on a side. The roof must
be capable of supporting 110 pounds of static load. Keep
in mind that dynamic loads exist in recreation vehicles.
All manual controls have been removed from the ceiling
plenum. They have been replaced with control relays.
The relays are mounted in the electrical box of the ceiling
plenum. The relays contain 12 VDC coils (which may be
energized by a wall mounted thermostat), with contacts
that control the 115 VAC used to power the roof top unit.
A low voltage controller controls all air conditioning
functions. The low voltage controller controls a 12 VDC
electrical circuit, which is used to energize the relays in
the ceiling plenum. The low voltage controller that
Airxcel, Inc. provides for the system may be a
combination (Heat/Cool).
3
These low voltage controllers are capable of operating
both the roof top air conditioner and any furnace with a
12 VDC control circuit of 1 amp or less (continuous
current).
All air conditioning equipment is subject to freeze up
when evaporator air flow is sufficiently reduced. Ducting
of any length creates potential for reduced evaporator air
flow and system freeze up. To protect both the installer
and Airxcel, Inc. from conditions that promote reduced
air flow and system freeze up, Airxcel, Inc. has equipped
the ceiling plenum compressor control circuit with a low
temperature probe. The low temperature probe monitors
the temperature of the air conditioner evaporator coil.
When the temperature of the evaporator coil drops below
28 degrees F, the switch will open, stopping compressor
operation. Compressor operation will resume once the
evaporator warms to 55 degrees F.
IMPORTANT
The low temperature sensor is part of the ceiling
plenum electrical circuit. The probe must be inserted
into the evaporator coil of the roof top unit by the
installer when bolting the ceiling plenum to the roof
top unit.
3. PACKAGE CONTENTS

5. CEILING PLENUM INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT
1. The ceiling plenum must be installed under the roof
opening.
The ceiling plenum bolts below the roof top unit.
Compression of the framed ceiling cavity between the
roof top unit and the ceiling plenum is what holds both
components in place.
2. Ceiling cavity depth (the measurement from the ceiling to
the roof – maximum 6”).
3. The 115 VAC service for the roof top unit must be routed
into the ceiling plenum. To prevent wire pinching and to
promote ease of installation, allowances must be made for
routing the 115 VAC supply wiring into the front of the
roof opening.
4. The wirebox has a 9 pin receptacle extending from the
front. This mates with the roof unit 115 volt electrical
conduit. When making this connection, verify that the
plugs are properly aligned and have snapped together
securely.
5. The wirebox for the heat/cool units will have a two pin
receptacle which mates with the umbilical plug from the
heater assembly.
6. LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL WIRING (WALL
THERMOSTAT)
A. A low voltage terminal strip on the front of the box
connects to the low voltage control wires. The wires
attach by 1/4" quick connects.
B. The low voltage control wiring must be run from the
wall thermostat mounting location to the wirebox low
voltage terminals. To prevent wire pinching and to
promote ease of installation, allowances must be
made for routing the low voltage wiring into the front
of the opening.
